Introducing a brand-new design from Morris & Co. Delivered to the Birmingham Society of Arts on February 19th 1880, The Beauty of Life is the lecture title of William Morris`s passionate appeal against the ill effects of industrialised capitalism. This rallying cry is forever immortalised on a high-drama wallpaper, ornamented with quintessentially Morris motifs; scrolling foliage, chattering birds and beautiful script inspired by his own Kelmscott Press. The Beauty of Life is introduced to the Morris & Co. range for the Emery Walker`s House collection. The lettering is inspired by William Morris`s own book-printing press, The Kelmscott Press, a feat he realised with the unwavering support and guidance of expert typographer, Sir Emery Walker.
